A Creative Life, from Alt NYC |
Jobs can't be created ex nihilo, not by Democrats, not my alleged "job creators," not by anyone. Just by ourselves. We create our own jobs, we shape our own lives. So just do what you love, whatever it is.
Is it that simple? Not really. Because there's all the rest of the stuff on the list, which mainly involves other people. The community, the church, collaborative partners--whatever you want to call it.
My favorite example is Gaughin and Van Gogh, as much as they are over-used models for the creative genius. But how great is that? You go out and paint all day, earn barely enough rent to cover the upper room in your yellow house, and then you come home and get drunk and argue about the meaning of the horizontal and vertical line and cut off your ear and hang out with harlots. Maybe that's what all of us need in life.
